Weekly Round-Up: March 2nd

Welcome to the NHK: Bleakly comical or just downright depressing?

Posted on November 27, 2006 by Karura

Chapters 1-32 Tatsuhiro Satou is a hikikomori- four years ago, he dropped out of college, and for the past year he hasn’t even talked to another person! It might seem as if there is no hope left for Satou, but … Continue reading →

Weekly Round-Up: November 10th

Posted on November 10, 2006 by Karura

Keroro’s father does not approve of HARD GAY. I hate resizing images. Picture heavy posts are always tough and tedious work, because up until now I’ve been resizing them manually. It was only last night that I finally discovered the … Continue reading →

Posted on September 29, 2006 by Karura

The new season is almost upon us, and yet here I am, having failed to put together any kind of autumn (or, if you prefer, fall) preview whatsoever- and nor am I intending to. Aside from the fact that many … Continue reading →
